Labs facility of Central City functions as the headquarter for the team around the titular hero. Perry Dantzler compares it to the Arrow Cave from the Arrow TV series, where a "dark, secretive atmosphere" with "solid walls and dim lighting" fits the focus on crime fighting. S.T.A.R. Labs, in contrast, is a bright space illuminated by natural light, with "white walls and gleaming equipment" designed to "remind viewers that the characters in the lab [...] are primarily scientists first and superhero teammates second." This emphasis on science influences the direction of the show: "The entirety of S.T.A.R. Labs reflects a need for uncovering the truth". S.T.A.R. Labs is a "high-tech space" which through the combination and application of knowledge empowers "the abilities of superheroes to flourish and improve", a "material space" where "superheroes' identities and abilities are shaped" through technology.[19]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
